Developing Students’ Oral Performances Through The Use Of Authentic Materials The Case Of Second Year Lmd Students Of English At Batna-2 University

Résumé: The main objective of this research is to investigate one of the most crucial debatable issues in the field of English language teaching and learning. The core of this present study is to probe the effectiveness of integrating non-teaching authentic materials in oral classes to promote students’ oral performances with second year LMD students of English at the University of Batna-2. In order to collect the data required for the study aiming to build reliable results along the different phases of the research, we used a combination of two methods being experimental and descriptive. By doing so, we could confirm the hypothesis which tended to check the effectiveness of exposing students to different types of authentic materials which may enhance their oral performances. The main important findings revealed at the end of the investigation is that the exposure to authentic materials while are not teaching tools during oral/aural classes lead to a good mastery of oral proficiency and increase students’ oral performances as they become more aware of the authentic native use of the oral language and acquire more correct usage of language in its real life situations. Thus, teachers are highly recommended to exploit these materials during the oral expression modules to promote their students’ oral proficiency.
